Wana share with u guys this sermon which I've learned a lot from. Preached by Ps Christie Ong - Heart fix or heart shift?

1. Determination to stay on course : FOCUS
1Cor 9:24
"Do you know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize".

Phil 3:13-14
"Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead."

  • Have your heart fixed on Jesus at all time, under all circumstances.

  • Choose commitment over comfort!

  • When we face challenges, hold on to God's promise

    Roman 8:28
    "And we know in all things, God works good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose"

  • Stay strong!

    Prov 24:10
    "If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength"!

  • Do not focus on how far u still need to go, focus on how far u've come along!

    2. Train to win : DISCIPLINE YOUR HEART AND MIND
    1Cor 9:27
    "No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize"

    Prov 4:23 "Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life"

    Heb 12:2 "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith"

  • Renew your mind with the Word of God until there is breakthrough

  • Train your heart and mind to the leading of the Holy Spirit and keep the inner man in you quiet when all things around go chaos.

  • Let God be God!


    I couldn't agree with the pastor more when she said that sometimes, we do let emotions be the god in us. We sometimes do let emotions govern our thoughts and deeds. How shallow is our faith that we falter when Satan does little trick. Jesus was not swayed at all when He was tempted by Satan. No wonder we need to constantly be renewed by God's word and strengthened by His spirit. Who shall we draw strength and faith from if not from the author and perfector of faith, God, himself?

    Lets ask God to teach us how to guard our hearts and fix our eyes on Jesus that we may run this race whole-heartedly.
